All About Me
So, what do you want to know? I'm 26, I have a degree in Ecology, I'm Welsh, but currently living in Reading, England.
I'm training to be an accountant, while also working as a cash administrator for a leasing company. Everyone knows me
as Tinks, or Tinker Bell - very few people outside my family or work use my real name.
I'm into books, films, games (of the computer, board and role-playing variety), music (playing, singing and listening),
painting and drawing, food (both cooking it and eating it!), animals and outdoors-type stuff.
I'm originally from a village outside Pontypridd in South Wales. Half of my family are Welsh, the other half are from
Yorkshire. I have one brother, Rhys, who lives in Sheffield, but no sisters. Unlike the majority of my peers, my
recently-retired parents are still happily married.
I didn't live in South Wales for very long - when I was nearly 6 we moved to Pembrokeshire, and thats where I
did my growing up. I lived in Pembrokeshire for 12 and a half years, and did a variety of cool and interesting
stuff while I was there. Its a fantastic place to grow up, cos the main towns aren't too small, there's tons of
countryside and nature and beaches and things, plus one of the best theme parks in Britain was a 10 minute
drive away. What more could a child want?
I left Wales when I was 18, to go to university. I studied biology at the University of York, and escaped with a
second class honours degree in Ecology. I was at York for 3 very enjoyable years, which were spent mainly
studying, socialising and having fun.
When I graduated, I moved to Chester, to live with my then-boyfriend Beaver. I worked in a jewellery shop,
which was loads of fun, but the money wasn't great, so I ended up in a Marks and Spencer call centre. That
wasn't that great either, but it paid more than the jewellery did and the shifts were friendlier.



Unfortunately, things didn't turn out so well for Beaver and myself, and we split up in
the summer of 2005. I moved from Chester down to Reading, and successfully convinced
friends to let me live with them. I found myself a job and a new boyfriend, Jamie. We
live in a pokey terraced house with our gorgeous cat, Mr Fidget.
As you can see from the pictures, I've adopted a variety of looks over the
last few years. My hair colour changes pretty regularly, right now its red,
but I'm sure that will change in the next few months! I'm in the middle of a
'growing it long' phase - it's currently just brushing my shoulders. I will be
growing it for at least a few more months, but if the summer proves to be
as hot as is promised, I may get fed up of it and have it all cut off in August!
Well thats me in a nutshell. Find out more about my interests by exploring
the rest of the site, there's pages about most of the things that I'm
interested in. (or at least, there will be, by the time I'm finished!)
